On March 15, 2023, the WTT Grand Slam continues. Just finished two matches, after fierce confrontation, the national table tennis men's doubles Fan Zhendong / Wang Chuqin defeated their opponents 3-1 to advance to the quarterfinals, and the women's singles Zhang Rui defeated Miyu Hirano 3-2 to advance to the quarterfinals, congratulations to them!
The specific scores and match situation are as follows
Fan Zhendong/Wang Chuqin
The two sides met in the recent World Table Tennis Championships qualifiers, when Fan Zhendong/Wang Chuqin defeated their opponents 4-0, and the goal in the face of this match is obviously clear, that is, to win.
The first two innings of the game were played well, especially the first game was played very smoothly. In the third game, the opponent increased the fight, and the little fat big head made more senseless mistakes and regretted to lose a game. However, the strength was there, and the fourth game was won 11-6.
The opponent in the next round is Lee Sang-so/Karlberg, the competition will be more fierce, I hope the fat head is getting better and better!
Zhang Rui
The last time the two sides met was in last year's WTT Regular Challenge, where Zhang Rui defeated Miyu Hirano 3-2, and once again at the 2018 Hong Kong Open, Zhang Rui also defeated Miyu Hirano 4-1, it can be said that Zhang Rui has an absolute psychological advantage against Miyu Hirano. However, Miyu Hirano played well in this competition, eliminating the world's third king Yidi in the last round, and it was a big upset, and Zhang Rui's victory in this game is difficult and must be taken seriously.
The first game of the match quickly lost a set 2-11. In the second game, he showed his strength, leading 5-1 at the beginning, leading 8-3, taking the set point 10-5 and winning the second set 11-5. In the middle of the third game, Zhang Rui trailed 5-7, tied 8-8, won the set point 10-8, and won the third set 11-8. The fourth game started with a 2-2 draw, Zhang Rui trailed 4-8 in the middle of the game, and lost the fourth set 4-11. Zhang Rui led 6-0, led 8-2 and won the match 11-5 in the tiebreaker.
The next round will face the winner between Chen Xingtong and Han Ying, keep up the good work!
